How Do You Love? is an album about the most universal of emotions: love. Throughout the 15-track record, 18-year-old frontwoman Lydia Night details the rise and fall of a relationship-from that first rush of butterflies, through a destructive break-up, to ultimately finding peace and closure. Night, who wrote the vast majority of lyrics, begins the record with a spoken-word poem, diagnosing the listener as being "infected" with a "love disease." Throughout the album, it becomes evident that The Regrettes are infected, too-but that's not a bad thing. The band hopes that the album will provide "the cure," by showing listeners that no matter how they've experienced love-whether it's romantic, platonic, or self-love-they're never alone.

Night came up with the idea after writing a group of songs about her experiences in various real-life relationships. She states, "I realized that they all fit together and tell a story. It's about finding bravery through [love]... learning and accepting that, yes, you went through a sty breakup, but that's amazing-because all that means is next time you're in a relationship, you know so much more about yourself and about what you want."

Over the past few months, the band has been gearing up for the release of How Do You Love?, offering fans a sneak peek with recently-released tracks "California Friends," "Pumpkin," "Dress Up," and the lead single, "I Dare You," as well as the passionate standalone anti-Kavanaugh anthem, "Poor Boy" which ELLE declared as, "a feminist call to arms." Earlier this year, they wrapped a 30-date European arena tour as direct support for Twenty One Pilots, making stops in London, Paris, Stockholm, Dublin, and many more.

In 2018, the band - currently rounded out by members Genessa Gariano (22, guitar), Brooke Dickson (24, bass) and Drew Thomsen (22, drums)-released their critically acclaimed Attention Seeker EP and dominated the year's top summer festivals, from Coachella to Reading + Leeds, landing on the covers of L.A. Times and L.A. Weekly and earning praise from the likes of Rolling Stone, Billboard, USA Today, Variety, and The Guardian. Together, the group has graced the stages of CONAN and Jimmy Kimmel Live!, toured extensively across North America and Europe, and garnered widespread acclaim from NPR, Vogue, Entertainment Weekly, Consequence of Sound, and many more since the 2017 release of their breakthrough debut album, Feel Your Feelings, Fool!
